3．I believe the very nature of writing is to set the writer free，not to impress readers．I encourage my students to write freely．By now we taste the goodness of free writing and enjoy it very much．And I imagine you may have tons of questions about free writing．
First，how to improve my logic？
（36）B The power of writing has to do with its emotion，and logic，and therefore we try extra hard to be logical-but this kind of forced logic is not something we can force on ourselves，or on our writings．When we let our emotional voice come out freely，our logical voice will also come out-that is the charm of free writing．Read your own free writings，you will find many free writings are quite logical indeed．You are not that illogical as you thought of yourself．
（37）C
Yes，sometimes our ideas are boring，sometimes we are boring people-so what？Who says we have to be amazing all the time？Let's respect our human reality．The good thing we need to do is to continue to write patiently．Persistence wins the battle．Sometimes the idea may seem boring to us，but as we continue to write，something else will come up．（38）G Our writing does not have to be immortal or amazing．Writing is just one way to express ourselves．Please don't worship writing．
Now，what if my writing often shows my dark side that I don't want to see at all？
（39）A As human beings we all have our dark sides； what is the right way for us to become better people？To face them honestly or to hide them and pretend they never exist？Honesty is always the best policy．Our dark sides need to be expressed，and free writing is a perfect outlet．The miracle is，after you express yourself truthfully，you will have less negative emotions，you will be more at peace with yourself，and have more compassion（同情） toward others．（40）E Many of my students have experienced the healing effects of free writing．And I believe you will experience the same wonderful healing．

A．This is a very honest question．
B．Logic is only one aspect in writing．
C．Then，what if my ideas are boring？
D．And free writing is exactly the opposite．
E．We write to free ourselves，and also to free others．
F．Have you ever wondered why free writing sets us free？
G．Our goal is not to amaze people，but to express ourselves．

Good tool design is important in the prevention of overuse injuries．Well-designed tools and devices will require less force to operate them and prevent awkward hand positions．They will allow the worker to keep the elbows （肘部） next to the body to prevent damage to the shoulder and arm．
Overuse injuries can therefore be prevented or reduced if the employer provides，and workers use：
power tools rather than having t use muscle power．
tools with specially designed handles that allow the wrist to keep straight （See Figure I）．This means that hands and wrists are kept in the same position as they would be if they were hanging relaxed at a person's side
tools with handles that can be held comfortably by the whole hand．This means having a selection of sizes---remember that tools that provide a comfortable firm hold for a person with a very large hand may be awkward for someone with a very small hand．This is a particularly important consideration for women who may use tools originally designed for men．
tools that do not press fingers （or flesh） between the handles，and whose handles do not have sharp edges or a small surface area．

70．Which of the following might be the best title for the passage？B
A．Good Tool Design for Women
B．Tool Design and Prevention of Injuries

D．Overuse of Tools and Worker Protection
71．Which of the following describes a well-designed tool？D
A．It's kept close to the body．
B．It fully uses muscle power．
C．It makes users feel relaxed．
D．It's operated with less force．
72．What is Figure I used to show？C
A．The effective use of the tool
B．The way of operating the tool．
C．The proper design of the handle．
D．The purpose of bending the wrist．
73．In choosing tools for women，Aof the handle is the most important．
A．the size
B．the edge
C．the shape
D．position．

1．"Does my smile look big in this？"Future fitting-room mirrors in clothing stores could subtly adjust your reflection to make you look─and hence feel─happier，encouraging you to like what you see．
That's the idea behind the Emotion Evoking System developed by Shigeo Yoshida and colleagues at the University of Tokyo in Japan．The system can manipulate，or in other word，control your emotions and personal preferences by presenting you with an image of your own smiling or frowning face．
The principle that physiological changes can drive emotional ones─that laughter comes before happiness，rather than the other way around─is a well-established idea．
The researchers wanted to see if this idea could be used to build a computer system that manipulates how you feel．The system works by presenting the user with a web-camera image of his or her face─as if they were looking in a mirror．The image is then subtly altered with software，turning the corners of the mouth up or down and changing the area around the eyes，so that the person appears to smile or frown （皱眉）．
Without telling them the aim of the study，the team recruited （招募） 21volunteers and asked them to sit in front of the screen while performing an unrelated task．When the task was complete the participants rated how they felt．When the faces on screen appeared to smile，people reported that they felt happier．On the other hand，when the image was given a sad expression，they reported feeling less happy．
Yoshida and his colleagues tested whether manipulating the volunteers'emotional state would influence their preferences．Each person was given a scarf to wear and again presented with the altered webcam image．The volunteers that saw themselves smiling while wearing the scarf were more likely to report that they liked it，and those that saw themselves not smiling were less likely．
The system could be used to manipulate consumers'impressions of products，say the researchers．For example，mirrors in clothing-store fitting rooms could be replaced with screens showing altered reflections．They also suggest people may be more likely to find clothes attractive if they see themselves looking happy while trying them on．
"It's certainly an interesting area，"says Chris Creed at the University of Birmingham，UK．But he notes that using such technology in a shop would be harder than in the lab，because people will use a wide range of expressions．"Attempting to make slight differences to these and ensuring that the reflected image looks believable would be much more challenging，"he says．
Of course，there are also important moral questions surrounding such subtly manipulative technology．"You could argue that if it makes people happy what harm is it doing？"says Creed．"But I can imagine that many people may feel manipulated，uncomfortable and cheated if they found out．"

74．What's the main purpose of the Emotion Evoking SystemA？
A．To see whether one's feeling can be unconsciously affected．
B．To see whether one's facial expressions can be altered．
C．To see whether laughter comes before happiness．
D．To replace the mirrors in future clothing-store fitting rooms．
75．What can we learn about the web-camera image in the studyB？
A．It recorded the volunteers'performance in the task．
B．It gave the volunteers a false image．
C．It attempted to make the volunteers feel happier．
D．It beautified the volunteers'appearance in the mirror．
76．What does Creed mention as a limitation of the technologyD？
A．It only changes the areas around the mouth and the eyes．
B．It only works in clothing stores．
C．It only makes subtle changes to people's expressions．
D．It only deals with a limited number of facial expressions．
77．What does Creed's comment on the moral issues with this technology imply？C
A．Nothing is more important than happiness．
B．Technology is unable to manipulate people．
C．People should make their decisions independently．
D．People should neglect the harm of the technology．

9．With the development of the Internet，electronic payment （61）has become （become） more popular to pay bills so far．（62）Actually （actual），the probability of paying bills electronically is decreasing with age and increasing with education，and （63）it seems that women tend to use electronic payment at a （64）higher （high） rate than men．In addition，some consumers may respond negatively to fees when they （65）are charged （charge） by banks for electronic deals，（66）which may keep some consumers away from electronic payment and toward signature payment． Moreover，consumers'use of electronic payment will vary with financial conditions and expectations about the future．For example，if they have negative expectations about their future financial conditions，customers are more likely （67）to pay （pay） electronically．
On （68）the whole，businesses offer electronic payment （69）services （service） which not only improve customer service，but also cut costs，reduce late payments and provide a greener business solution （70）for customers，improving the company's competitive advantage．

8．What Is Emotional Eating？
Emotional eating is when people use food as a way to deal with feelings instead of satisfying hunger．（71）A Have you ever finished a whole bag of chips out of boredom or downed cookie after cookie while preparing for a big test？But when done a lot-especially without realizing it-emotional eating can affect weight，health，and overall well-being．
Not many of us make the connection between eating and our feelings．
（72）E One of the biggest myths about emotional eating is that it's caused by negative feelings．Yes，people often turn to food when they're stressed out，lonely，sad，anxious，or bored．But emotional eating can be linked to positive feelings too，like the romance of sharing dessert on Valentine's Day or the celebration of a holiday feast．Sometimes emotional eating is tied to major life events，like a death or a divorce．（73）G
Emotional eating patterns can be learned：A child who is given candy after a big achievement may grow up using candy as a reward for a job well done．（74）B It's not easy to"unlearn"patterns of emotional eating．But it is possible．And it starts with an awareness of what's going on．
We're all emotional eaters to a degree．But for some people emotional eating can be a real problem，causing serious weight gain or other problems．The trouble with emotional eating is that once the pleasure of eating is gone，the feelings that cause it remain．（75）D That's why it helps to know the difference between physical hunger and emotional hunger．
Next time you reach for a snack，wait and think about which type of hunger is driving it．

A．Believe it or not，we've all been there．
B．If a crying boy gets some cookies，he may link cookies with comfort．
C．One study found that people who eat food like pizza become happy afterwards．
D．And you often may feel worse about eating the amount or type of food you like．
E．Understanding what drives emotional eating can help people take steps to change it．
F．Boys seem to prefer hot，homemade comfort meals，while girls go for chocolate and ice cream．
G．More often，though，it's the countless little daily stresses that cause someone to seek comfort in food．

7．Each week New York-based hairstylist Mark Bustos tries to make a small difference in people's lives （61）by giving haircuts to homeless people．
During the week，Mark works in his high-class salon，but each Sunday，he walks around the
city asking people（62）whether/ifthey'd like a haircut．He then gives them a stylish haircut-（63）the
same kind he would give to any paying customer，except these are done for free for those who are homeless or cannot afford a haircut（64）themselves（them）．
Mark's work began in 2012when visiting family in the Philippines．Instead of just（65）taking
（ take ） a typical，relaxing vacation，he decided to give poor local children haircuts．"I felt so happy doing it that I've continued since returning，"Mark explains．
Changing someone's appearance can have a huge impact on their life．Remember the homeless retired soldier who received a make-over？He found a job，（66）rented （rent） a house and
quit drinking alcohol afterwards．（67）Simply （simple） changing how a person looks can give them a huge increase in （68）confidence（confident）．
Mark Bustos proves that there are many ways （69）to give （give），and that you can easily use your （70）personal（person） abilities to make a difference in somebody's life．
